NYU's innovative Masters of Arts program in Business and Economic
Reporting (BER) is one of just a few schools in the U.S. that offers
an interdisciplinary approach to business journalism on the graduate
degree level. In addition to specialized classes in all forms of
financial writing, students take courses in the MBA program at NYU's
Stern School of Business. The program enrolls twelve students each
fall, and in 14 years has welcomed students from about 25
countries. BER students have gone on to reporting jobs at Bloomberg,
Business Week, CNBC, CNN, Dow Jones Newswires, Financial Times,
Forbes, Money, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, and other major news
outlets. BER founder and director, Stephen Solomon, is a former
Fortune and Inc. writer, and a winner of both the Loeb and Hancock
business journalism awards.
